An Interview with Actor David Connor who
Portrays Paul
Revere at the Revere House

How did you become interested in developing the character of Paul
Revere?
Because of a physical resemblance to Paul Revere, A&E hired me to play
Revere in a television program. As I performed scenes in the Paul
Revere House, I began kidding around with museum visitors. The director
of the Revere House saw me pretending to be Revere and invited me to
develop the role.

What is the hardest part of your job?
Remembering the names and birth order of Revere's sixteen children!

What do you enjoy most about being Paul Revere?
Meeting visitors from all over the world and telling true stories about
Revere (which are often a little different from what people have read in
history books!)

What advice do you have for kids who are developing a historical
character?
Find a character to whom you feel personal ties and with whom you have a
physical resemblance.

David Connor presents "A Visit with Paul Revere" during April school

free with admission
to the museum: children ages 5-17 $1, adults $2.50. For specific dates
